ENHANCED PACKAGE THERMAL MANAGEMENT USING EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL CAPACITIVE THERMAL MATERIAL

摘要

An apparatus has external and/or internal capacitive thermal material for enhanced thermal package management. The apparatus includes an integrated circuit (IC) package having a heat generating device. The apparatus also includes a heat spreader having a first side that is attached to the IC package. The apparatus also includes capacitive thermal material reservoirs contacting the first side of the heat spreader. The capacitive thermal material reservoirs may be disposed laterally relative to the heat generating device.
